Heat must be getting to the brain cells, so read this uplifting story twice. Both bought tickets in same county and both stayed anonymous; talk about near coincidences.

If you won the powerball or mega millions, would you still be posting here etc?Reply
Makes sense if you live in a non-anonymous state like California. But if you lived in Maryland, for example, and nobody knew who you were and there was no reason anyone had to know and no way for them to find out unless you blabbed, would that change your view?

Powerball to lower jackpot starting point and increases due to plunge in salesReply
The problem with playing online is that in the insanely rare chance you do actually win, you have essentially given up you ability to be anonymous since it's bought on an account with your information. I'm not sure you can even set up a trust or anything after the fact?

Lottery Post breaks down every state lottery's response to COVID-19Reply
chris632, exactly! ... Because there's no way that important, once in a lifetime, mailed claim form with lottery ticket would get lost! Instead, there should simply be a heavily guarded Dropbox OR electronic filing where photo of ticket is uploaded.

The world may never know who won a $202 million lottery jackpotReply
I think it's great for being anonymous . I think that the lottery should at least do an interview with the winner make up some big story about their life and what they're going to do with the money. maybe how the winter feels now . it doesn't have to be specific or even a little fabrication is fine. something to keep the masses that they can chew on Some kind of success story
